Großzössen is a district of Neukieritzsch in the Leipzig district (Free State of Saxony ). Until it was incorporated into Lobstädt in 1994 , the place was an independent municipality.

geography

Großzössen is located in the Leipzig lowland bay, 30 km south of Leipzig in the northwest of Borna . Until the middle of the 20th century, Großzössen was between Pleiße in the west and Eula in the east. Kleinzössen was northeast of Großzössen on the other bank of the Eula. The Witznitz I and II opencast mines changed the environment of Großzössen permanently. The Witznitz I opencast mine operated between 1911 and 1949 excavated the area east of Großzössen. In the period that followed, the Witznitz reservoir was created from the remaining hole . The Witznitz II opencast mine changed the area west and north of Großzössen between 1946 and 1993. The neighboring town of Kahnsdorf was almost completely isolated by the open-cast mine , the Pleiße was relocated to the west and the Wyhra was led in an arc to the north around Großzössen. The Eula joins the Wyhra to the northeast of the village. The district of Kleinzössen disappeared in the opencast mine.

After the flooding of the remaining opencast mine holes of Witznitz II, the Kahnsdorfer , Hainer and Haubitzer See are now in the north of Großzössen . The small corridor is located south of the Hainer See.

history

Großzössen manor

The manor in Großzössen was mentioned as early as 1445/1447. Under the jurisdiction of the newly schriftsässigen Guts places Großzössen, Kleinzössen and stood grove . Until 1856 they belonged to the Electoral and Royal Saxon Office of Borna . In the 15th century, the owners of the Großzössen manor were the von Könneritz and von Breitenbach families . 1606 it passed through purchase to the Lords of Einsiedel , who owned the neighboring manor Lobstädt and in whose possession it remained until 1871. After the decision of the Saxon Ministry of Justice which was on April 21, 1856 patrimonial jurisdiction over wholesale and Kleinzössen the Royal District Court Borna transferred , while Hain came under the administration of the Royal District Court of Rötha . In 1875 the towns were placed under the administration of the Borna District Authority. Since the beginning of the 20th century, lignite mining has changed the landscape around Großzössen considerably. Between 1907 and 1949, the Witznitz I, Victoria and Dora-Helene I opencast mines destroyed the area southeast of Großzössen in the direction of Borna. Sections of the Wyhra and Eula rivers were also affected.

On October 1, 1948, Kleinzössen was incorporated into Großzössen. In 1952 the place was assigned to the Borna district in the Leipzig district . With the opening of the Witznitz II opencast mine west of Großzössen in 1946, the landscape changed to the west and later to the north of the place. Between 1949 and 1961, the mining in construction field 1 swiveled around a pivot point west of Großzössen, whereby Großzössen and Kahnsdorf were spatially separated from Neukieritzsch by the opencast mine. After construction site 2 with the pivot point northwest of Kahnsdorf was opened in 1960, dismantling initially moved away from Großzössen. By moving the Pleiße to the west around the opencast mine in 1963/1964, it moved further away from the site.

Between 1968 and 1971, when mining field 2, which was moving clockwise, was located north of Kahnsdorf, the evacuation of the approximately 350 residents and the demolition of small quantities began. The site was excavated until 1974. This year the opencast mine had reached the northern edge of Großzössen. In the now started mining field 3, he migrated to the east. The connecting road from Großzössen to Haubitz formed the southern mining limit. Alongside this road, the place could only be reached from Lobstädt in the south. The neighboring town of Kahnsdorf, which is surrounded on three sides by the opencast mine, was the only local connection with the road via Großzössen.

The economic and political change accompanying the German reunification in 1989/1990 led to a drastic decline in the demand for lignite, which meant that the Witznitz II open-cast mine was shut down early by 1993, despite the existence of deposits. From the three renatured remaining holes in the north of Großzössen, the Kahnsdorfer, Hainer and Haubitzer See developed in the following period, of which the Hainer See, which is located directly north of Großzössen, is also used for tourism. Including the Witznitz reservoir, the place lies between four lakes. The former local corridor of Kleinzössen lies after the renaturation on the south bank of the Hainer See.

Großzössen was incorporated into Lobstädt on January 1, 1994 at the same time as Kahnsdorf. When Lobstädt was incorporated on April 1, 2008, Großzössen became a district of Neukieritzsch.
